What's so great about Provaris?

[Rancor0681]

I disagree with the idea that Provape caters to advanced vapers in any way. Advanced vapers know how to responsibly use a 30, 50, or even 100 watt device but Provape refuses to give that much freedom. I personally despise the idea of my e-cig serving as my nanny- I don't need one!

Again you do Alot of speaking for yourself not others. I am an "advanced" vapor I can sup Ohm I know how to play with higher wattages but guess what I DONT. I am growing tired of you speaking your OPINIONS as if they were gospel and no way is correct unless it's yours. CAN WE PLEASE get back to the original poster who wants info about a provari because he may want on for his birthday not VapoJoe and why he feels the provari sucks discussion.

Hey, I kind of would like to ask my fiancee for a Provari for my birthday but am having a hard time justifying spending $180 on a battery. The most I've spent on a battery so far is like $40. What makes them worth that price?

My Provari still works as well as when it was brand new, bought in February 2011. I did send it back once for the 2.5 upgrade, but that was just for the sake of the upgrade. Let's ignore the fact that I have dropped it (way too often) onto concrete/pavement/etc...

The only other mod I have had that can even compare is a Reo Mini 2.1, which because I wasn't paying attention took a spill off the roof of my car onto the asphalt at 60mph. After replacing the atomizer I kept using it. Still, I prefer the power regulation and low battery warning on the Provari.

The simple fact is that the Provari is a RESTRICTIVELY regulated device with an outdated user interface and display- not my opinion. The original poster wanted to know why the Provari was special- I simply pointed out why it is NOT special and introduced a competing device which I find to be a better value.

 

[Zealous]

OP, it depends on what type toppers you like whether it will be "worth it". If you like tanks, clearos, RTAs, carto tanks it will be a nice device for you. It's probably the best built regulated mod out there. On the other hand, if you find yourself preferring a dripper to other toppers you'd be better off with a bottom feeder type device. With a device like the REO you can have the benefits of a dripper without having to carry around the bottle & drip into it constantly.

if you're going to go for a high end, good quality device I would suggest thinking about how & what you like to vape before deciding. Don't let anyone here convince you to get a Provari just because it's a good quality device. While that is true, it doesn't necessarily mean it's the right device for YOU.

 

[stevegmu]

I can't imagine a poor quality device would be right for anyone...

 

[USMCotaku]

My lord this thread is condescending. I read through hoping to learn solid info on the device, pro and con. What I see is flagrant fan boyism, and quick bashing of any who DARE say something bad about it. The OP did ask in a manner that would indicate desire to hear both sides. You do need both sides to make a well informed decision after all. Can not someone here have an opposing opinion without being bashed for it? Your pro(vari).....hehe......comments are still opinions based on your needs and experiences. I hope to someday be able to afford a mod like this, but if I somehow save up that kind of cash, I want to know everything I can about it, good and bad. If this thread continues to be a flame war I'll just have to get that info elsewhere.

Now it's just getting sad. If provari is such a horrible device nobody wants please do tell why so many are sold and enjoyed everyday. I mean we get it we can see your hatred for a device that you don't have to even associate yourself with but choose to smh I'm done with this back and forth you are just repeating the same drivel and poor attempts at shaming provape and I'm done listening

 

[yotrek]

For the price of provari i'll buy DNA 30 anytime ..

I never said it was horrible- it's just outdated. The archaic user interface, the laughable screen, and the lack of VW on current models are all evidence to the fact that the Provari is outdated. I don't hate it, I just happen to KNOW that you can just get a more fully-featured device of equal quality with fewer restrictions and more features for the same price (something the OP would clearly like to know based on his question). It's not even up for debate- The Provari is OUTDATED.

Again out dated for YOUR needs now your just trolling

 

[JMarca]

Where?

Where can you get a equal quality device that can withstand torture for 4 years of drops, every day wear and tear, abuse and neglect? Again, where? Because of all the devices I have from way back that's the only thing still working without a hitch.

It's hard to make the decision to spend $200 or more on a mod. I did that and didn't spend much more for more than two years. I did buy the Sigelei Zmax for backup in case I had to send the Provari in for service. I use both but I keep coming back to the Provari. I can't really tell you why, but it feels right in my hand and just works. I look at other mods and see the eye candy, but don't feel the need to jump.

Someone mentioned that the Provari won't do 6 volts. That's right if you ask it to go beyond 15 watts. Mine gives me an E2 on my 2.2 ohm Kayfun coil. I vape that coil at 4.5v and find it to be about right, but then the Kayfun doesn't have the air flow to do 6 volts at 2.2 ohms without burning juice. It will do 5.7v at 15 watts on a 2.2 ohm coil at 2.6 amps with almost another amp of current flow to go (at a different voltage and resistance combo).

The point is that the Provari isn't a high voltage dripper or a low resistance cloud blower. It's a highly reliable mainstream vaper tool.

 

[Rancor0681]

If the device does everything a user's needs how is it outdated.

A device becomes outdated when it no longer meets the need of the end users. And ALOT of people are still showing provape that it's not done meeting there needs just on v2.5 purchases alone not to mention with what the p3 will rack up in sales

 

[James15]

My Provari does everything I want it to. It's a 2.5 mini and It works so good I'm not even considering getting a P3. I'm not interested in having too many bells and whistles because they all do the same thing and thats vape. You might think it's outdated according to the way you vape but I know I'm going to be using this for a long time. I only have one and many batteries

It's OK James we can be outdated fan boy buddy's haha

 

[SingedVapor]

How is a device outdated on the basis that it is only VV? I much prefer a device that is VV over VW. Many of us enjoy VV devices.

I kind of like variable wattage. If you recoil, it matches the vape to the coil without dealing with click and try voltage changes. I was glad to see that the P3 includes VV and VW. But then, we all know what voltage range is good for the coil we just wrapped (or the ones we just bought). If I have to wander a couple of tenths to hit the sweet spot it's not a problem.

I can see why people wonder why anyone would spend the cash for Provari. After all, you can have three mods for the price of one. You just can't count on years of vaping from any of the three. But, with three mods you might still have one that's working at the end of two years.

No, outdated compared to the current state of e-cig technology. I think you are the one trolling because I already gave SPECIFIC examples that are NOT opinion. The archaic single button user interface, the 80s-style seven segment display, and the lack of VW on the current model.

Your kidding me right please say yes please. Just because something is a must have for you does not make it outdated. The mvp 2.0 that you did a video review of and gave rave reviews for you never once called outdated.

God forbid something doesn't have VW and doesn't meet YOUR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS the WAY YOU want it to. That doesn't make it outdated it makes it a device that's not right for you.

With so much tech out there that meets your needs why don't you move on and quit harping on how everyone who enjoys using a provari has outdated equipment. I mean what is you fascination and fanatical drive to just troll on the provari move on and discuss the device you like with others that do
